Poetry That Takes a Front Seat

The Outlaw Writer’s Son and Tomorrow by David S. Pointer

Theron’s probably
feeling cold as an
iced intravenous
solution right now.
Percocet’s a popular
narcotic analgesic
used to diffuse pain,
but maybe it’s his dad’s
poetry and lifetime
legacy that will propel
his pen back to page-
treat all those cavity
wounds coming forward
to pay written respect-
even the skilled guys
in ghillie suits know
maximum effective
range into the future
can cover more ground
faster than molten
thermitic materials
